Ngaba iintengiso zangaphantsi zeTinxin zazixutywe kuba babesebenzisa iLizwi 'ixesha'?

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ungabamba iintengiso zokunyusa isifuba okanye indlela yokufumana amanqaku emzimbeni waselwandle kuhambo lwakho lokuhamba kusasa, kodwa abantu baseNew York abayi kubona naliphi na ixesha leepanty. I-Thinx, inkampani ethengisa iimpahla zangaphantsi ezifunxayo xa usexesheni kwaye izibophelele ekwaphuleni umthetho malunga nokuba sexesheni, isandula ukuphehlelela iphulo lokuthengisa elixhokonxayo ukwazisa ngemveliso yazo kunye nonobangela wazo: ukuphelisa ibala lexesha. Iintengiso ezicetywayo zibonisa abantu ababhinqileyo ecaleni kweefoto zesiqingatha segrapefere echetyiweyo (enesimo esifana nesobufazi) okanye iqanda eliqhekekileyo (ngokubhekisele kumaqanda okuya exesheni angenamaqanda) kwaye ufunde: "Impahla yangaphantsi yabasetyhini abanamaxesha." Babandakanya nengcaciso emfutshane yokuba liliphi ixesha (uyazi, ukuba ulibele). (Ngolwazi oluthe kratya malunga nokuba kwenzeka ntoni kanye kanye, jonga ubunjani bakho: Umjikelo wakho wokuya exesheni.)

Ivakala imsulwa ngokwaneleyo, akunjalo? Ngapha koko, nangaliphi na ixesha, umfazi okufutshane nawe usenokuba usexesheni-kwaye bambalwa kakhulu abantu abathetha ngokuya exesheni ngokuphandle. Endaweni yoko, sisebeza ngokufihlakeleyo kumagumbi okuhlambela aseofisini okanye sihambise iincoko ngesihloko kwidinga lethu lonyaka le-ob-gyn.

Ewe, iMithombo yeendaba engaphambili-yinkampani ephethe uninzi lweentengiso ze-Arhente yoThutho lweSixeko saseNew York (MTA) -sandula ukwala isicelo sikaThinx sokubamba iintengiso kwiindlela ezingaphantsi. Ukuqiqa, ngokwendlebe nodliwanondlebe lweMedia engaphambili nguMic: umfanekiso ocetyiswayo kunye nobungakanani obugqithisileyo besikhumba. Ngokwezikhokelo ze-MTA, iintengiso ezibonisa "ezesondo okanye izinto ezingafunekiyo" okanye ezikhuthaza naluphi na uhlobo "lweshishini elijolise kwezesondo" aluvumelekanga.

Kulungile, sifumana into yokukhupha (uhlobo?), Kodwa sisazama ukuqonda ukuba i-Thinx, inkampani enethemba lokutshintsha ukhathalelo lokuya esikhathini, iwela njani kolu didi. Ezi zizenzo zomzimba, bantu! Kunye nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo ye-racier-efana ne-ahem, leyo yemiboniso eMyuziyam yaseNew York ye-Sex-plaster iindonga zento evakala ngathi loliwe wonke.

Eyona ngxaki yethu inkulu: Inxalenye yolwaphulo-mthetho inokuba kukuba ezi ntengiso zigqamisa igama "ixesha." Kwaye ngokutsho komlawuli wentengiso we-Thinx, abameli abathile be-Outfront Media babenexhala lokuba abantwana baya kulibona eli gama baze babuze abazali babo ukuba lithetha ukuthini (izulu alivumi!).

I-Outfront Media igxininise ukuba ayikhange izikhabe ngokuthe ngqo iintengiso, kodwa ayizukuzibonisa kwimeko yazo yangoku. Oko kwathethi, la ma-panties exesha kusenokungafuneki ukuba abhengezwe-sele bethengisile ngento ababecinga ukuba iza kuhlala unyaka onesiqingatha.
